Arsenal supporters have urged the club to push for a move for Matheus Cunha following the latest update on their interest in the Brazilian forward.

Cunha has been one of the top performers in the Premier League this season, playing a key role in helping Wolves steer clear of relegation.

Despite committing to a new contract at Molineux earlier this year—which includes a £62.5 million release clause—speculation around his future has continued to build.

Both Manchester United and Arsenal were interested in Cunha the January transfer window, but he opted to stay put at the time.

Since then, the Red Devils have ramped up their pursuit, with reports suggesting the Cunha’s agent has already held talks Man United.

However, the Gunners are reportedly still monitoring the situation and could return with a renewed effort to land the forward this summer, raising concerns that Arsenal could hijack Man United’s move for Cunha.

Now, Arsenal fans have been given a clearer picture of the club’s position in the ongoing race, with fresh reports suggesting a move is still firmly on the table.

Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta set to hold talks with Matheus Cunha’s camp

Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed on X that Arsenal have had “fresh contact” regarding Cunha, with internal discussions ongoing about whether to pursue a move for the Wolves forward this summer.

Jacobs added that a “new meeting is scheduled” between Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta and Cunha’s representatives.

Additionally, Football Insider revealed that Man United may face difficulties in their attempt to sign Cunha, as Wolves could demand his £62.5 million release clause be paid in full. United may also struggle to raise the necessary funds if players aren’t sold this summer.

This could open the door for the Gunners to step in and make a deal happen ahead of their Premier League rivals, as a summer saga awaits.

Arsenal fans call for Matheus Cunha signing amid attack overhaul

Following their Champions League exit to PSG and a disappointing domestic campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side are expected to prioritise attacking reinforcements this summer.

Football Insider previously revealed that Arsenal had reservations about Cunha, citing concerns over off-pitch controversies and some inconsistent performances this season.

However, his unique profile and technical ability could be exactly what Arteta’s team are lacking in the final third.

Many supporters are urging the club to act, with one fan writing: “Cunha is exactly what we need please” while another added: “Cunha has ball striking and that X factor we are missing in attack, wouldn’t be mad at all.”
